Boxing Day at Goodison....the highs and the lows.

Howard and Osman can do that to you lol

I thought I had repressed these memories.... now they appear to be flowing back. My stability is ebbing. You see what I've done there?

Should I still blame Howard for his distribution to Osman? Or was it Leon, for stupidly dilly dallying on the ball and losing possession?

I think I need to go for a lie down...

Defo boxing day. As I said in my post, my cousin and I had to hitch through the tunnel coz there was no public transport running.

My bad, the bet must have been by the new year.

Woeful.

Ouch I remember that one now. Kroldrups only league game wasn't it? We were absolute garbage that match and it was on Sky wasn't it.

First Everton game I was ever at was 1998 boxing day, nil all draw with Derby.
To this day it is still the worst game I have ever seen...

Didn't expect this type of thread at all, full on expecting a prophecy....

Stoke, the high balls and the low blows, putting the big fight live into boxing day 2014.

You never went to Stevenage at home last season then. By far, one of the worst games I've seen at Goodison in many, many a year.

I remember when the pipes burst.

Truth is mate, not many things from that far back I'd be sure of. Need a very clear reference like that tunnel hitch or I'd wouldn't have said anything.

I remember the 2-6 one though, mainly because I jibbed it to go and watch Chester beat Preston 1-0, I must have got a vibe.

Aye. And Baros handled it for his first. Grim.

Been to a few over the years that I wish I'd jibbed. Haha. My spidey sense doesn't tingle at the right times.

The 2 - 6 result was just about the pits. Most miserable Boxing Day ever with a lousy journey back to Ireland and the bitterness of half digested turkey. Damn you, Eberton.

I lived in Stretford back then and had to go home on my motorbike, freezing cold to a house full of gloating Manu family... I hated Macari and co with a passion that day and for a long, long time afterwards.

I hated Macari even more in 1983 after he came on as sub in about the 24th minute of injury time in the cup 1/4 final at Old Traffart and set up the winner for Stapleton
